Stridentism

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Stridentism (Spanish: Estridentismo) was an artistic and multidisciplinary

Dadaism, Futurism and Ultraism, but it developed a specific social dimension, taken from the Mexican Revolution
, and a concern for action and its own present. Stridentists were part of the political avant-garde, in contrast to the "elitist" modernism of Los Contemporáneos.
